Dana White recently shared a video on his Twitter and Instagram accounts, providing more information about the UFC’s ‘Celebration of Life’ tribute to the late Stephan Bonnar, who was one of the most influential fighters in UFC history.
Sadly, Bonnar struggled with addiction issues in his post-fighting years, and on December 22, 2022, he passed away due to heart complications while at work.
To honor his memory, the UFC is putting together the ‘Celebration of Life’ event, and White shared some details about it in the video.
“What’s up, everybody? So, this Sunday, we’re having a celebration of life for Stephan Bonnar. A lot of the cast from season one of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ is going to be there. Stephan’s family [and] friends [are going to be there]. A lot of our employees, media, etc., everybody [are going to be there]. Fans – we gave away like 500 tickets to fans, first-come-first-serve.
So, for those [of] you who couldn’t make it [and] would like to see it, we will be live streaming on ufc.com, YouTube and UFC Fight Pass – all free. And, it’s at two ‘o clock on the East Coast. So, join us to celebrate the life of Stephan Bonnar.”
